Esteghlal Faces Financial Crisis and Venue Uncertainty Ahead of Volleyball Premier League

With less than two weeks until the start of the Volleyball Premier League, Esteghlal faces financial problems and uncertainty over its preparations.

Esteghlal has faced financial problems and uncertainty in the preparation situation less than two weeks before the start of the Premier Volleyball League.

According to the Mehr reporter, while the Iran Volleyball Premier League starts on October 29, the Esteghlal team is facing serious challenges less than two weeks before the start of the competition, and the situation of this team to participate in the new season is still under the shadow of financial problems.

Esteghlal, which entered the Premier League this year by recruiting several key players and choosing Rahman Mohammadirad as the head coach, started training in Mashhad about a month ago, but according to reports, the non-payment of the players' demands has led to the suspension of training and a strike by Mohammadirad's students. An event that can affect the preparation plans of this team on the eve of the start of the tournament.

Along with financial problems, the hosting location of Esteghlal has also become one of the concerns of this team. While there were speculations about hosting in Mashhad or returning to the Gonbad, Milad Tagvi, the head of the volleyball federation, had previously announced that the hosting status of this team has not yet been decided. Esteghlal played in the dome last season, but could not get the expected results.

Considering the little time left until the start of the league, determining the tasks of the players' demands, resuming training and determining the hosting conditions are the most important issues that Esteghlal managers must solve for the regular and strong presence of this team in the new season.
